Well I went out for a walk last week
上周我出门散步闲逛
I passed a shop they call a boutique
路过一家所谓的精品店
Fancy Dresses of every size fancy wigs to pop your eyes
各色华服挂满橱窗 夸张假发令人瞠目
Bracelets diamond rings stuff for women too
镶钻手镯戒指流光 尽是女士们的花样
Well I didn't want to see no more
我实在不愿再多看
I slipped inside the grocery store
闪身溜进隔壁杂货店
I took down a can of beans
随手拿起一罐豆子
I pulled a dollar out of my jeans
从牛仔裤里摸出钞票
A fella said Hold it
有人喊道 且慢
That'll be three hundred dollars
这罐豆子要价三百美元
Well a feather could've knocked me down
我震惊得几乎站不稳
I mean I knew this was a high priced town
早知此地物价惊人
But this was getting hard to take
但这实在难以接受
I said What the hell do you get for steak
我问牛排又该多少钱
You looked surprised
你满脸错愕
Said It isn't just a can of beans
这可不只是罐装豆子
It's a work of art
分明是件艺术品
Well now I see what the poor man means
此刻我终于明白穷人为何执着
He's proud of that little can of beans
他为那罐豆子骄傲得发烫
I didn't hear what else he said
没听清他后续的絮叨
I had my eyes on a loaf of bread
我的目光黏在面包上挪不开
White bread four hundred dollars;
白面包标价四百美金
Three for a thousand
三片就要一千整
Well just about then a crowd came in
就在这时一群人蜂拥而入
And pickin's must've been pretty slim
货架上想必已所剩无几
Because in just a minute or three or four
因为短短两三分钟过后
They'd cleaned out that whole grocery store
整间杂货店就被扫荡一空
They bought brooms
他们抢购扫帚
Fought over watermelons
为西瓜争得面红耳赤
One fella put down a pickle
有个家伙放下腌黄瓜
Said I don't know much about art
我说 虽然我不懂艺术
But I know what I like
但我知道自己的喜好
Well as I stood there wonderin' why
正当我困惑不解时
Two little fellas came cruising by
两个小个子晃悠过来
Little tight suits little black ties
穿着紧身西装 系着黑领带
One of them looked at me
其中一个打量着我
And said My how rustic I bid a thousand
说道 多么质朴 我出一千
I said I beg your pardon
我回答 请您再说一遍
It speaks I bid five thousand
有人出价五千美元买下我
So here I stand in a Superman suit
于是我穿着超人服站在这里
And everybody says I'm cute
人人都说我可爱迷人
I tried to tell them but they would not see
我想解释但他们视而不见
So they hang their hats and coats on me
他们把衣帽都挂在我身上
Well a job's a job
工作终究是工作
Still if I had my preference I'd rather be Batman
但如果可以选择 我更想成为蝙蝠侠
